219 In Conversation: How Black, Indigenous and Women of Color are Navigating Anti-racism (Part Four with Antonia Montoya and Giovanna Rossi)

<p>On the Well Woman Show this week, I share part four in a series of conversations with black, indigenous and women of color colleagues and friends, and together we explore anti-racism and racial justice - what it means not only in the big picture but how our daily lives are impacted, what we're reading, what we're doing and where we go from here.</p><p>This week, I'm in conversation with Antonia Montoya, and we explore racial justice from our unique perspectives and lived experiences. Antonia is a mental health therapist who specializes in walking alongside clients through grief, loss, addiction, and challenging life transitions. She supports her clients in the exploration and reconnection with themselves while teaching new practices for creating the change they seek in their lives. As a queer woman of color from Albuquerque, she has been a lifetime student of the traditional healing practices of her ancestors. She is committed to supporting her clients in their work, understanding the importance of continuing her own.</p><p>All the information shared today can be found at the show notes at&nbsp;<a href="http://wellwomanlife.com/219show" target="_blank">wellwomanlife.com/219show</a></p><p>This special series on anti-racism is part of the #podcastersforjustice campaign.</p><p>We are podcasters united to condemn the tragic murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and many many others at the hands of police.
